And what will the cost of this be to the taxpayers? Virtually every other european gov is coming out with packages offering temporary loans to support the industry and save jobs. Loans, not handouts. Some of the British companies have asked only to get access to funds to get through this and then pay back on commercial terms, I can’t really see whats wrong with that??
